Hal and Melanie have a way of writing that makes you feel as though you are sitting down and having a conversation with them. What they write is solid. What they write is Biblical. What they write actually works and is doable. They don t pull punches or just try to make you feel good. They handle delicate issues with Biblical responses. Since we know that God s word never returns void, we know that this book will change lives. -Phyllis Sather, author of Purposeful Planning Hal & Melanie Young have written another fabulous and much-needed book, My Beloved and My Friend: How to Stay Married to Your Best Friend Without Changing Spouses. Brilliant book. Of course it is; I knew it would be. They are the folks...who wrote Raising Real Men. I loved that book, and I knew I d get a lot from this one too. -Debra Brinkman, Footprints in the Butter Faith should impact your behavior. This one truth, emphasized repeatedly in the Bible, prompts Jesus followers to adopt Jesus priorities and Jesus behaviors in our human relationships. In this book, Hal and Melanie seize this understanding and seek to apply it to the covenant relationship of marriage. -Dave Buller at Christian First This book was hard to put down, I have pages dog eared, I have highlighted sections that I want to return to and I ve shared several great passages with my husband. I love how Hal and Melanie Young shared their private life and the struggles that they have gone through. I felt like I was a special friend that they were confiding in and in return I was learning so much about myself. -Kimberly Huff at Natural Beach Living This book felt more like a conversation with friends than a how-to manual. This is not a rekindle your romance kind of book. It s also not a here s why you fight, now work around it kind of book. It s a straightforward story of how two sinners, saved by Grace, live out their marriage covenant while being best friends. It s the perfect kind of marriage book. -Laurie Bostwick at Our Abundant Blessings Noth-ing is held back as they use God s word to show a clear path to being a Godly cou-ple and hav-ing a mar-riage that show it as well. -Steve Blackston at Husband of a Homeschool Mom I ve read a few marriage books no, actually I haven t. I ve purchased a few books, read a few pages, got bored with them, and got rid of them. My Beloved and My Friend is different than all those other marriage books I ve come across. -Tabitha Zehner at The Homeschool Four

You're not what you do. You're not what you have. You are not what others say about you. You are God's beloved. Are you ever concerned that you don’t deserve to love and be loved because you are continually having to prove yourself? In You Are Beloved, Bobby Schuller shows you how to let go of these fears and put your trust in the One who sees you for who you really are. Here is an easy to follow, proven path to personal dignity for all those who think they are not good enough no matter how much they achieve. This path is illuminated by the truths that it is not about what you accomplish, but what has already been accomplished for you; not about what you have, but what has already been provided; and not about who others say you are, but who God says you are. Know that you are valued, cared for, and embraced. You Are Beloved will help you rebuild your life as a response to that assurance.

One of these groups of survivors, mostly rock climbers and mountaineers, subsists through the leadership of Jude, a biblical archaeologist and rock climber. Jude is given a chance to go back in time by using an invention of a surviving U.S. scientist. Jude is transported back to Palestine during the first century, where he searches for Jesus, to verify if he truly was the Messiah, or a charlatan. Dying from nuclear cancer, Jude spends most of his given time looking for Jesus, finally finding him meditating on a mountaintop. Jude, mesmerized by Ishias (Jesus) power becomes his first follower and best friend, Judas. His friendship and his knowledge of Ishia of Nazerat become the pivotal force in the last three years of their lives. Jude becomes the Judas, torn apart between being Ishias beloved friend and being his betrayer. The shocking and controversial ending is for you, the reader, to read and discover. It will tear at your very soul but it will rejuvenate and strengthen your faith in Jesus Christ. A must for every Christian to read!

But in our busy, fast-paced, mobile world, we've lost this rich view of friendship and instead settled for shallow acquaintances based on little more than similar tastes or shared interests. Helping us recapture a vision of true friendship, pastor Drew Hunter explores God's design for friendship and what it really looks like in practice—giving us practical advice to cultivate the kinds of true friendships that lead to true and life-giving joy.

The study of Christ in the Scriptures is heart-warming and encouraging at any time. The author's portraits of Christ in the Song of Solomon breathe life and reverence into the interpretation of a book that is so often misunderstood. For the most part, he uses Scripture to interpret Scripture - an exemplary method of Bible study. Where this is not possible, he has used the characteristics of natural life to bring about understanding. The Lord Jesus Christ is honoured on almost every page. Furthermore, he reveals the appreciation of love between the Messiah and Zion (along with that for the Church); and that Jerusalem can look forward to a bright future, after a period of severe persecution. This is a book that stirs up affection for the Son of the living God, leading the reader to worship the Father whose counsels and purposes are centred, as always, in Christ.

In this story of the most famous assassination in history, “the last bloody day of the [Roman] Republic has never been painted so brilliantly” (The Wall Street Journal). Julius Caesar was stabbed to death in the Roman Senate on March 15, 44 BC—the Ides of March according to the Roman calendar. He was, says author Barry Strauss, the last casualty of one civil war and the first casualty of the next civil war, which would end the Roman Republic and inaugurate the Roman Empire. “The Death of Caesar provides a fresh look at a well-trodden event, with superb storytelling sure to inspire awe” (The Philadelphia Inquirer). Why was Caesar killed? For political reasons, mainly. The conspirators wanted to return Rome to the days when the Senate ruled, but Caesar hoped to pass along his new powers to his family, especially Octavian. The principal plotters were Brutus, Cassius (both former allies of Pompey), and Decimus. The last was a leading general and close friend of Caesar’s who felt betrayed by the great man: He was the mole in Caesar’s camp. But after the assassination everything went wrong. The killers left the body in the Senate and Caesar’s allies held a public funeral. Mark Antony made a brilliant speech—not “Friends, Romans, Countrymen” as Shakespeare had it, but something inflammatory that caused a riot. The conspirators fled Rome. Brutus and Cassius raised an army in Greece but Antony and Octavian defeated them. An original, new perspective on an event that seems well known, The Death of Caesar is “one of the most riveting hour-by-hour accounts of Caesar’s final day I have read....An absolutely marvelous read” (The Times, London).

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A “searching and emotionally intimate memoir” (The New York Times) told with a candor never before undertaken by a sitting Justice. This “powerful defense of empathy” (The Washington Post) is destined to become a classic of self-invention and self-discovery. The first Hispanic and third woman appointed to the United States Supreme Court, Sonia Sotomayor has become an instant American icon. In this story of human triumph that “hums with hope and exhilaration” (NPR), she recounts her life from a Bronx housing project to the federal bench, a journey that offers an inspiring testament to her own extraordinary determination and the power of believing in oneself. Here is the story of a precarious childhood, with an alcoholic father (who would die when she was nine) and a devoted but overburdened mother, and of the refuge a little girl took from the turmoil at home with her passionately spirited paternal grandmother. But it was when she was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes that the precocious Sonia recognized she must ultimately depend on herself. She would learn to give herself the insulin shots she needed to survive and soon imagined a path to a different life. With only television characters for her professional role models, and little understanding of what was involved, she determined to become a lawyer, a dream that would sustain her on an unlikely course, from valedictorian of her high school class to the highest honors at Princeton, Yale Law School, the New York County District Attorney’s office, private practice, and appointment to the Federal District Court before the age of forty. Along the way we see how she was shaped by her invaluable mentors, a failed marriage, and the modern version of extended family she has created from cherished friends and their children. Through her still-astonished eyes, America’s infinite possibilities are envisioned anew in this warm and honest book.
